spnDuring the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, fish and dragons were mixed together in the Dongdan Archway of the capital (Beijing), and all kinds of people lived here.It was still daylight in the early morning, and Li Guolou had already woken up in the south room of a courtyard house in Hongchang Hutong.He would wake up at this time of the month, and he could hear the Ma family couple arguing loudly in the yard.What are Ma Dabangzi and Mrs. Qian arguing about?Why quarrel?Li Guolou already knew about it.

Ma Yaozu didn't return all night, he gambled at the Silver Hook Gambling House all night, and lost all his monthly wages of [-] Wen.

"You bloody ghost, why are you still here! Go jump the Yongding River! My old lady should remarry soon!" Qian Shuiping yelled loudly at the door of the West Wing, throwing a large bowl at Ma Yaozu.

And Ma Yaozu is from the Yongding Henan Bay Wharf. He was born in Kangbaozi. He carried hundreds of catties of goods on the springboard every day. My boss, can I refuse?"

The big bowl fell to the yard with a "snap" and fell to pieces, causing a black dog who was guarding the house to yelp in fright, and hid behind a big elm tree in the middle of the yard. [

When Qian Shuiping heard this, he became furious and scolded: "You have no brains! He is a member of the Qing Gang, how much does he make a month? Why do you only have [-] Wen, and who else will the [-] Wen go to?" I'm with such a younger brother, we can only be blackmailed, whoever of the two children has received a new year's money from Ghost Face King. You are a brain! You will listen to what he says!"

Ma Yaozu replied: "He was the one who found my errand. This is a fat vacancy. How many people are jealous?"

Carrying steamed stuffed buns at Nanwan Wharf is hard work, the wages are high, and he only works for half a day. In addition, Ma Yaozu is a relative of Qian Shuiyao, the ghost face king, so he is considered a long-term worker and gets the highest salary.Qian Shuiping was scolding her younger brother for taking money from her brother-in-law Ma Yaozu regardless of family affection, but outsiders were extremely envious of their family.They all say that Qian Shuiyao is enough to be a brother, and he takes good care of his brother-in-law Ma Yaozu.No one dared to bully the stupid Ma Yaozu.

"Jealousy! Jealousy! Whoever is jealous has gone with you, I don't want to live with you! Alas;;;;;;" Qian Shuiping started crying again, crying to her dead parents Well, if only her parents were still alive, how dare her younger brother be so heartless. It's only started this month, and their rice vat has already bottomed out. How can they live as a family of four!

Qian Shuiping cried loudly, who was she crying for?The owner of this courtyard house, the widow Wu, mother and daughter, rented out most of the house, but the mother and daughter of the Wu family lived in an east wing room.

Ma Dabangzi's family came early, and they bought two rooms in the west wing, and they were the only family who also owned the yard.The other tenants don't have any tricks, they are all low-level people.Only Li Guolou, a young man who lived in the main house in the south, lived in three rooms by himself. He came in and out mysteriously. rich.It is said that he is a distant relative of Li Hongzhang, the co-organizer of the university and the governor of Jiangsu.

In the room on the south side, Li Guolou heard the two children of Ma's family crying sadly, he couldn't bear it any longer, even though he knew Mrs. Qian was beating and scolding so early, just to let him hear, because he was afraid that if he went out, No trace came back.Sometimes he went out for several days, anyway, he was alone, and no one wanted to explain where he wanted to play.

Li Guolou put on his clothes, took a look at his figure in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror, with a wry smile on his face, the short braid at the back of his head hadn't grown much, it had been more than a year, his braid Not half as long as normal.

This braid almost caused him to be kicked out by the Li family. Li Guolou came from a famous family. Before he was 14 years old, he responded to the call of his uncle Li Hongzhang and went abroad to study in the British Empire.Although he was dawdling in Cambridge University, spent four years on being brave and ruthless, and didn't study very well, he already understood English, could read the Times newspaper, and could understand the general English books.Unexpectedly, when it was time to return to the Qing Dynasty, something serious happened. His big braid was cut off by the landlady's daughter as a prank.

When he returned to his hometown in Hefei, Anhui, it would be a bad thing to look like this. At this time, fake braids were also sold in the Qing Dynasty, but they were all the ones with hats.The Li family has a lot of rules. When Li Guolou meets his elders, he always takes off his hat to pay tribute. When he goes back, he takes off his hat, and his head will be exposed. There are only older brothers and sisters in the family. .But other people can't do it. His future father-in-law Xie Yuantong is very rigid and has no room for accommodation. He is the first to come to the door to divorce the engagement!

In addition, he offended his uncle Li Hongzhang and said a few outrageous words. Of course, he said that the Qing Dynasty was corrupt and declining, and it was not on the same level as the British Empire. Such big words.After he came back, he didn’t get any job. Li Guolou didn’t want to do business with his brothers and sisters, so he went to the capital to find a decent job, but after more than a year, he went all over the yamen of the six prefectures, and no one was willing to hire him. , Li Hongzhang's signboard was useless, but someone greeted him, making him happy in vain.It was clearly agreed that the money was already in place, but there was no shortfall this year, so wait for next year.

Li Guolou had a stomach full of English ink, but he had no use for it in the capital.He also took a deep breath, but he didn't want to live in the hometown association. He wanted to make a career by himself without relying on the advice of his uncle Li Hongzhang. He was a person who had studied abroad, and he was a rare species in the Qing Dynasty. Although he did not graduate from university I just graduated, but I can also be a pillar of the country!Anyway, my family has money and I have no bad habits, so I rented a few rooms in Hongchang Hutong. I also wanted to see how ordinary people live, so I didn't look for a courtyard house with a single house.He didn't live in the courtyard for a long time, and sometimes he would go back to his hometown to have a look, and hang out with two fellows he knew in the capital.But he couldn't hold back the "enthusiasm" of the neighbors around him. He knew that his family was in good condition, or he was a snitch, and his money came from wrong sources!

With the first time of kindness, Li Guolou knew the bad nature of Chinese people, and he had heard the words of marrying grass in the next life several times.

Li Guolou touched his chin again in front of the mirror, why didn't he grow a beard?An official has no beard, who would believe that he is an official, hey!Before he grew a beard, he couldn't be a high official. Li Guolou was still struggling and didn't open the door.How many times is this?The third time or the fourth time, Li Guolou silently counted in his mind, it seems that it happened twice in summer, and now the autumn wind blows, if it happens again, it will be the fifth time.Don't fight against Baozi, Ma Dabangzi, just give him a long-term job.

Li Guolou has lived independently since he was a child and does not need anyone to take care of him. He is nearly [-] years old, and after this year's tempering, he has stopped talking big.He secretly vowed that if he wanted to explode, he said it ten times in his stomach first, and if he couldn't bear it anymore, he would say it again.The two children, Niu Niu and Niu Niu, cried even more sadly outside the door. Their old mother, Qian Shuiping, wanted to "commit suicide" by jumping into the well.

"I don't want to live anymore, let me jump in!" Qian Shuiping yelled loudly, but couldn't get rid of the two well-behaved children.

The doors of the other five houses were closed tightly, and Wang Kuaizui, a storyteller, always had to hang out in the yard a few times, so he didn't come out to join in the fun today.All five of their families have donated money and food to Ma Dabangzi's family, but this kind of thing happens once and twice, not three, four, five times, endless, who can bear it.Besides, if Ma Dabangzi gets back his monthly wages, he will be a big family in this yard, but the Ma family is really not good. Isn't it money to sell the house?Even the mother and daughter of the landlord Wu’s family refused to go out to discourage Qian Shuiping from jumping into the well, so just jump!Go outside to fetch water to drink at most.The neighbors were very dissatisfied with the Ma family crying and howling so early, and they didn't come out to try to persuade them to fight.

Li Guolou pulled the latch and opened the door. He saw Ma Yaozu, Qian Shuiping, Niuniu, and Niu Niu all showing him gratified smiles, and then they all hurriedly wept.

Li Guolou seemed to have just woken up, stretched his waist and said: "What are you doing, do you want someone to sleep in early in the morning?"

Ma Yaozu had a great savior, so he immediately went to Li Guolou's side, sighed and said: "Fake foreign devil, you don't know, this stinky bitch only knows about money, but doesn't know that we men are working hard outside."

Li Guolou looked at Ma Dabangzi's stinky face, and his heart ignited raging anger. He is not a prodigal son, he knows that daily necessities are expensive, and money is earned by his brothers and sisters hard, so it is only natural for him to spend it himself.But give it to someone else, why!It's not that he is soft-hearted, let Ma Bangzi and Mrs. Qian see that he likes Niu Niu and Niu Niu.

The smiles on Ma Yaozu's face were solidified together, and the facial features piled together reminded Li Guolou of pigs, isn't it the Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West?Still shameless, calling him by his nickname is tolerable or unbearable!

Li Guolou raised his hand and slapped Ma Yaozu's forehead at such a fast speed that he slapped Ma Yaozu on the forehead. Go to gamble again in a month, no one will cure you, I will kill you, believe it or not."

"Believe me! My little brother is really quick. I promise I will never go to the Silver Hook Casino again." Ma Yaozu smiled playfully, pretending to admit defeat.

He thought to himself: If this small body is caught by him, it will be like an eagle catching a chick. It can be lifted into the air, and if it is thrown casually, it can be thrown eight feet away.hit him!Whoever has this ability, if he is not clumsy, soft-hearted, and not vicious enough, would have sneaked into the Green Gang long ago, and the Four King Kongs must have his place.
